It was my absolute pleasure to visit Great Lakes Elementary School this past week!

I spoke with all 400+ students, divided into 3 presentations. This was my first presentation for PLASTICKINGDOM, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, my fears and anxieties were immediately banished. The students were well-prepared for my visit by the dedicated staff at the school, and they were ready to listen, and ask questions about plastics, the environment, and my experiences as an author/illustrator. We talked about making decisions that have positive impacts on the word around around us, as well as not being afraid to make mistakes and challenge ourselves creatively.

Listening level: Legendary

Putting that cardigan through its paces.

Pretty even split between students requesting drawings of seahorses and ocean sunfish in their signed books.

A fresh batch of ambassadors for the PLASTICKINGDOM!

The day went so well, and it has rekindled my passion to share this book and its message with others.

Do you have a school, group, or organization that is interested in taking-up the fight against plastic pollution? LELANI and THE PLASTIC KINGDOM is starting to have an impact! I'd love to visit and talk to you about how we can all make a difference in the PLASTICKINGDOM. Please contact me HEREfor details!

Keep it plastic-free, friends.

PS - Mrs. Brieden is a phenomenal teacher and the best little sister a big author/illustrator brother could ask for :)
